My Antitrust Spring Meeting Interview with Capitol Forum

May 21, 2015 by Robert Connolly

During the ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting, I had the good fortune to be interviewed by David Blotner, Senior Editor of the Capitol Forum. The Capitol Forum is an in-depth news and analysis service dedicated to informing policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders on how policy affects market competition. The Capitol Forum provides in-depth coverage of major antitrust matters such as the now abandoned Comcast-Time Warner merger. I was delighted to be asked to speak about cartel issues. David and I have known each other for years. He also was a career Antitrust Division prosecutor. And while I’m no Nostradamus, we did discuss the Forex investigation which just had big news yesterday. If you have a few minutes (around 27) here is a link to the video. And check out the Capitol Forum website, as well as their blog, for the complete coverage they offer.

Thanks for reading (or watching if you have the time).

The US Supreme Court has called cartels "the supreme evil of antitrust." Price fixing and bid rigging may not be all that evil as far as supreme evils go, but an individual can get 10 years in jail and corporations can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars. This blog will provide news, insight and analysis of the world of cartels based on the many years my colleagues and I have as former feds with the Antitrust Division, USDOJ.
